Bøker i Development in Practice Reader-serien

This collection examines the meaning of gender relations in the contexts of development practice and of development institutions: in relation to refugee programmes and in diagnosing the needs of rural communities, the needs of elderly people, and the challenges of working with street children and adolescents

This volume outlines many of the tensions NGOs face in claiming to speak for the poor while also remaining accountable to national and international actors. Together the authors provide an excellent overview of these important issues.
